Editorial Review for Nation's Giant Hamburgers – by Cory Jane Birkett

In Short
Since 1952, diners have been enjoying this nostalgic restaurant's tradition of high-quality comfort food at affordable prices. While they are best known for their signature three-quarter-pound "giant" burger complete with a heaping pile of fixings, Nation's has expanded its menu over the years to include sandwiches, hot dogs, pies and hearty breakfast staples like omelets and pancakes. Health-conscious diners may opt for lower-fat choices like the chicken or salmon burger.

24 hours who can beat that. After a long night grabbing a burger, fries, or breakfast it amazing. The food is good, but make sure you tell them to go easy on the mayo they tend to really slather it on. The fries are salted to perfection. The eggs are ok, they use american cheese and I'm not really a fan. The pies are good too. My room mate used to get them all the time and they are delicious.

Pros: all night

Cons: the people that work there seem a little depressed

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

My wife and I, we now live in Michigan, often sit and discuss the things we miss the most about living in the Bay area. Always at the top of our list is, Nations Burgers. We always went to the Pleasanton store. Nations has by far the best hamburger anywhere in the country, in our opinions. The vegetables were always fresh and crisp, the meat properly cooked and moist with tons of flavor, and the right amount of mayo/miracle whip, to give the sandwich the best taste ever! The frnech fries were always cooked to a light golden brown, crispy outside, soft and tasty inside. And a wonderful selection of pies! Something else that most don't think about...the soft drinks... At a lot of restaurants, the ratio of syrup to carbonated water can make the soft drinks taste like anything but the brand selected. Nations quality control was/is such that what you get tatstes like it should. My recommendation...if your visiting the Bay Area...find a Nations Restaurant for at least one of your meals, you won't ever forget it. If you live in the Bay Area...what can I say...I envy you! Go to Nations and tell them I said hello!!! On a scale of one to ten...Nations is an eleven in our book!

Pros: Best tasting, freshest hamburger, anywhere!

Cons: Not enough seating in some of their stores
